A photo from my photo book "Rotterdam". The book features a photo series shot in Rotterdam in summer 2016 in which all photos were shot with a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone.
The book can be bought for 19€ plus shipping (1,45€ within Germany, 3,70€ international). If you're interested, send me a message via flickr or on my website.

The next beta test version of our compact nesting kit is here! This time, the bass and floor tom include the first appearance of our “seam lips.” These lips securely and accurately connect the two halves of the floor tom and bass drum with more stability than previous prototypes. 7x10, 9x14, 15x18, 4½x14; plied maple; semi-gloss wax.

Today's shot is a studio photo of some smoke.
This was taken on the Fuji compact on manual settings, including manual focus. The smoke is lit with an off camera speedlite fired from a Yongnuo YN-622C radio trigger.
The photo is then processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Film from a fujica compact S camera shot at 400 ISO pulled one stop to achieve the 200 max of the camera.

So I wrote a program that could read the red, green, and blue values making up each pixel in an image. Now by reading a line of an image, I could get the spectrum my sensor sees with the red, green, and blue pixels. But there's some noise so ideally we'd like to use multiple lines so hot pixels and dead pixels aren't a problem.
I made it adjust each line so the values are about the same. That way it's still weighting the dimmer parts of the image significantly.
The other problem is the lines might not be exactly vertical -- I was just hand-holding the camera. If the lines were slightly tilted, it'd blur out small peaks and whatnot. So I wrote something that would figure out if it should shift the line relative to the line above/below it -- Indeed, it found my picture was skewed somewhat, but the offsets make a nice line, so I think it's working.
This is the result. The peaks on the graph correspond to to the spectrum I found on wikipedia, so I picked the four major peaks and their wavelengths in nanometers, and I plotted them against the column number in my picture, and found they made an almost perfect line (R squared of .9999). So now I can interpolate and extrapolate the wavelengths of every column in my image. Now I have a real X axis :-)
A few things I noticed
The red line drops down to zero in the blue and green peaks. I double checked the original image and it was the same. I don't know what the deal is with that. I don't think the other spectrums i took pictures of did that. . .
The blue pixels seem to have a very extreme filter from 530-580nm.
Green crosses above blue at a certain wavelength. In theory, that wavelength should be the same regardless of the light source. Ditto for red crossing above green.

Olympus made some really good compacts over the years.
All these are nice to use and produce great images.
The XA4 is one of a few fixed lens cameras that is wide angle.
A fine lens and it focus down to 0.3 metre.
Things I don't like are no filter / lens hood mounting, and DX coding. The DX is easily over ridden with a bit of electrical tape then I can set the ISO manually for a bit more control.
The 35RC needed new light seals and I have made these from black felt rather than foam. Only other issue with this is the battery. Best solution is a thirty quid batery adapter from the Small Battery Company. Otherwise it is off setting the ISO to compensate from slightly higher voltage of the S625PX silver oxide batteries that is available now.
The Pen has limited versatility but it works really well in most conditions except low light, it just stops working when it gets to 1/40 at f2.8. So fast film in the winter.
Because the city of Richmond in British Columbia is located on a river delta, the soil must be compacted before a large structure can be built. The common method is to bring in a big pile of dirt and let it lie there for a period of time. This pile of dirt is compacting the soil in preparation for a condominium complex.

From Tina:
Thank you for looking at my vintage compact collection! Compacts became a fashion statement for women in the early 1900s and are still made today.
I started collecting vintage compacts around 10 years ago. A co-worker was cleaning out her mother's house and gave me an old cigarette case that she found. I held onto it for awhile just excited about the unknown history behind it, but when I did a little research, my envy turned more in the direction of the powder and rouge compact.
I have over 100 vintage powder and rouge compacts. I have gotten most of them at yard sales, flea markets, EBay, and some as gifts. My oldest one dates back to 1920. Based on information from a 1999 price guide, most of them value anywhere between $25.00 to as much as $500.00 each. Collecting compacts is a fantastic hobby for me! They do not take up much space, they are easy to display, they are a great conversation piece, and they are very durable and hold up well over time! My 6-year-old thinks they are so neat and I really enjoy sharing them with her. To this day, I always keep an open eye to add to my collection whenever I can. It is something that has become part of me and I love the fact that every compact I own has its own very personal history all hidden inside, something that will remain a mystery forever!
